Was your ?150 discount listed separately? I'm not sure, I just have an amount discounted, it could be my single person discount

According to Martin Lewis website, if you do not pay by DD, the council will send you a letter asking for bank details. They have until September to do this. Those paying by DD can expect the payment in April.


You could set up a DD and cancel it after the payment has been made.

Waiting for Lewisham to send theirs, but did get the email from the gas and electricity supplier saying prices were to increase by ?700 from 2nd April. If you haven't had communication from your fuel supplier, expect a letter or email informing you of the price increases PLUS those coming in November. Suppose the good thing is we have Spring and Summer to look forward too with warm weather and much lower usage and resulting bills over the next 6 and a bit months.

Got our bill last week - about ?10 extra per month, which could be worse I guess.


Still a little bitter about the cost of living rebate, just because I live in a Band E property, really does not mean I can afford the rise in the cost of living. My electricity bills like many other will still be going through the roof.


Who decided that having a Band E house makes you rich?

    • Miss Robson is the last of the old school independent vets. All the chains are have seriously hiked their prices over the last few years which now makes pet ownership only possible for the wealthy few. Even with pet insurance -( which often excludes items or has ‘deductibles’ ) it is just so much money. A visit with some medication is often £150 - £200. The vets themselves are excellent. 
    • Awful. A Google search came up with this, but will he check his office email over Christmas? Maybe worth also contacting local councillor? 'To contact Southern Housing's CEO, Paul Hackett, you can try his direct email, [email protected], or use the general contact email [email protected], as well as calling their main number, 0300 303 1066, for general inquiries or to be directed to the executive level.' Also, from the website: https://www.southernhousing.org.uk/latest-news/2025/contacting-us-over-the-festive-period   'Contacting us about an emergency? If you have an emergency outside of the above times over the festive period, such as severe flooding, an uncontainable leak, gas leak, complete electrical failure or lift breakdown, please call us on 0300 303 1066' I hope it is sorted out soon.
    • Dawson Heights again  2 lifts out of order at ladlands block Christmas Eve so of course the 🛗 will not be repaired tomorrow Christmas Day or Boxing Day or when how do elderly or mothers with children and prams and food and presents get to the floors and with the 10 minutes you get to drop off  to park and not get a Pcn fine and delivery food to relatives who can’t leave their house unbelievable Southern housing does any know email address of Coe of southern housing 
    • Sorry but I think it's best if people just check things for themselves when they buy things. In three shops/restaurants (from some years back) I just avoid the places concerned, as in all three  cases I was pretty sure it wasn't a genuine mistake, and in one place  it happened more than once and usually late at night.
